>>6570926Strongly disagree. I loved TR, although I ended up buying almost exclusively Takara, which solves the problem of the TMs themselves looking like garbage. And beyond that, having a headmaster gives the designers a lot more room to play with the transformations. A truly "intrusive" gimmick was combining, which caused pretty much every deluxe figure in that line use the same few cookie-cutter transformations. Meanwhile, TR gave us some awesome shit, like Kup, Topspin, Triggerhappy, and a ton of robo-beastformers that would have never seen the light of day until now. And I know there are a few who try to militantly bitch that adding a cockpit and pilot to the alt. mode doesn't actually add any playability to the toy, those people are retarded, and I have found that my TR figures spend just as much time as vehicles being vroomed around as they do as robots.
So really, Titan Masters were utterly the opposite of being "intrusive". They enabled a lot more variety, playability and originality in the Generations line than we have had for years. When was the last time we got G1, '86 Movie, G2, Headmasters, Triple-changers, City-bots, beast-formers, Targetmasters, and even fucking Monster-Bots all within a year's time?
